Story

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is experiencing a significant downturn in his film career, with a streak of nine consecutive box office flops over the past five years. Despite his previous status as a leading star, Kumar has only managed to secure two moderate hits during this period, raising concerns about his marketability in the industry. His recent film, *Sarfira*, released on July 12, 2023, was a remake of the acclaimed Tamil film *Soorarai Pottru*, yet it only garnered Rs 21 crore at the box office. Following this, *Bade Miyan Chote Miyan*, produced with a hefty budget of Rs 350 crore, struggled to reach even Rs 100 crore in earnings. Other releases, such as *Mission Raniganj* and *Selfiee*, also failed to resonate with audiences, earning Rs 45 crore and Rs 20 crore, respectively. The festive release of *Ram Setu* during Diwali did not translate into success, as it managed only Rs 85 crore despite the holiday hype. Similarly, *Raksha Bandhan* faced backlash for its perceived regressive themes, resulting in a mere Rs 61 crore in collections. *Samrat Prithviraj*, despite a large-scale marketing campaign, was met with criticism and earned only Rs 80 crore, while *Bachchhan Paandey* flopped with a disappointing Rs 73 crore. As Akshay Kumar's recent films continue to underperform, the actor's future in Bollywood remains uncertain, prompting discussions about the changing dynamics of audience preferences and star power in the industry.
